Summary

Implements platform-specific update strategies for the Velaris SDK with full Native AOT compatibility.

Added

  • IPlatformStrategy interface — \VelaPlatform, \UpdateMethod, \SlotInfo, \FlashPackMetadata\
  • LinuxStrategy (P0) — A/B dual-slot model, delegates to Rust Vela Core via FFI
  • WindowsStrategy (P2) — UWF/WU Agent/file overlay paths (stub for roadmap)
  • StrategyResolver — runtime OS detection + explicit platform selection

AOT Compliance

  • \Velaris.Sdk.csproj\ updated with \PublishAot, \IsAotCompatible, \PublishTrimmed\
  • No reflection, no dynamic code, no Moq
  • Compile-time strategies via factory pattern

Test Results

\
Velaris.Sdk: Build succeeded — 0 warnings, 0 errors
Velaris.Sdk.Tests: 20 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped (xUnit)
\\

Closes #203

…ation (#199)

- Add vela-e2e integration test crate with 6 test suites (55 tests)
- Suite 1: Watchdog + EventBus — event emission, subscribers, history
- Suite 2: Slot Manager + Lifecycle — transitions, metrics, terminal states
- Suite 3: Hub Client + Retry + Download — retry exhaustion, checksum, auth
- Suite 4: Full Pipeline — phase order, terminal states, config
- Suite 5: Error Recovery — space errors, retry behavior, fallback path
- Suite 6: Configuration — defaults, custom configs, error conversions
- Add SlotManager + SlotLabel types to vela-slotmgr
- Fix 40+ pre-existing compilation errors across workspace crates
- Fix dependency versions (x509-cert, csbindgen, hmac, ring compat)
- Fix platform compatibility (watchdog on Windows via cfg guards)
- Fix API mismatches in orchestrator, hub client, download, flashpack
…202)

- Add vela-delta crate with sliding-window block-matching algorithm
- Binary diff generator: generate_delta(old, new) -> DeltaResult<Vec<u8>>
- Patch applier: apply_patch(base, delta) -> DeltaResult<Vec<u8>>
- DeltaManifest format for .fpk delta.manifest metadata
- VDLT magic header with SHA-256 integrity verification
- 19 unit tests including roundtrip, hash verification, edge cases
- Integrates with FlashPack PayloadType::Delta
- Add vela-builder binary crate with 5 subcommands
- build: construct .fpk from payload with configurable metadata
- verify: validate FlashPack structure and display header info
- info: detailed FlashPack metadata display (all header fields + SHA-256)
- delta: generate binary delta between two files via vela-delta
- sign: stub for future PEM key signing integration
- Fix import in vela-delta diff.rs
- Add IPlatformStrategy interface with VelaPlatform, UpdateMethod enums
- Add LinuxStrategy (P0): A/B slot model, delegates to Rust FFI
- Add WindowsStrategy (P2): UWF/WU Agent/file overlay paths (stub)
- Add StrategyResolver: runtime OS detection + explicit platform selection
- Add SlotInfo and FlashPackMetadata DTOs
- Update Velaris.Sdk.csproj with Native AOT publish settings
- Add Velaris.Sdk.Tests project with 20 xUnit tests
- All 20 C# tests passing (0 warnings, 0 errors)
- Add Microsoft.Extensions.Logging + DI abstractions

Pull request overview

Adds a platform-strategy abstraction to the C# Velaris SDK (intended to be Native AOT-friendly) and also introduces new Rust workspace crates for delta generation/patching and a FlashPack builder CLI.

Changes:

  • Introduce IPlatformStrategy plus Linux/Windows strategy implementations and a StrategyResolver for runtime/explicit selection.
  • Add a new C# test project with unit tests for strategies and resolver.
  • Add Rust vela-delta (diff/patch + manifest) and vela-builder CLI, and register both in the vela-core workspace.
